Public bug reported:

I would like to request UVF exception for libgphoto2 2.4.0 package.

libgphoto2 provides access to photo download/upload/delete for digital
cameras and it is used  by key photo applications in Ubuntu/Kubuntu,
including digikam, f-spot, gthumb, kipi-plugins...

2.4.0 primarily provides (more info in NEWS attachment):
- add USB IDs/support for almost 50 new cameras on market
- improved PTP2 driver (widely used by newer cameras)
- several bug fixes (even some regressions introduced by 2.3.1, like bug 110065)

API/ABI was only extended (new C functions added), therefore soname bump
was not needed (more details in NEWS file).

I have merged the package from debian (2.4.0-2) with ubuntu changes and
have provided test packages in my PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~lure/+archive). Merged package includes
additional bug-fix from upstream SVN, that was identified during
regression testing.

Request for regression testing was requested through:
- mailing list: 
  
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-September/001619.html
  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2007-September/001915.html
- bug 139563
- forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=550881

All reports until now were positive and the only regression was
addressed by including ptach from upstream SVN.
